The big sell: This two-bedroom condo is in Bosa’s Fresco tower, which was built at the corner of Madison Avenue and Lougheed Highway in Burnaby North’s Brentwood Park locale. The east-facing unit features separated bedrooms, new floors with gleaming laminate hardwood and a gas fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling updated tile surround. The kitchen has upgraded countertops, a modern faucet over an undermount stainless-steel sink, new GE appliances, including a gas range and a french door refrigerator, and a centre island with an extended countertop to create breakfast bar seating. For design continuity, the bathrooms have been finished with the same cabinets as in the kitchen. The covered balcony is on the quiet side of the building with views across the courtyard garden. The monthly maintenance fee is $259.89 and pets and rentals are permitted. Listing agent Chris Tioseco estimates that this unit could command a rent in the region of $2,600 to $2,800 per month.
